House M.D. quotes

Dr. Walter Cofield: Were you angry with Dr. House?
Dr. Robert Chase: It was a prank. It wasn't uncommon.
Dr. Walter Cofield: So I've heard. That doesn't mean you couldn't get angry. Might actually contribute to that reaction.
Dr. Robert Chase: May I ask why that matters? Are you trying to prove that I was distracted, that my judgment was compromised?
Dr. Walter Cofield: Who do you think was at fault for what happened to you, Dr. Chase?
Dr. Robert Chase: Again, why does it matter?
Dr. Walter Cofield: You're a smart doctor. You know what happened here better than anyone, and you've worked with Dr. House longer than anyone and I suspect that you've spent every minute since this has happened trying to answer that very question.
Dr. Robert Chase: I don't think it was anyone's fault. I was angry, but I wasn't distracted. And I think that, if there's any chance I'm gonna walk again, it's because Dr. House is a genius.

Dr. Robert Chase

Self-sacrifice is not a symptom of schizophrenia. It excludes the diagnosis.

Dr. Gregory House

Hey, Cameron, how would you like your old job back? I'm asking because it's the only way I can fire you.
